My girlfriend is keen to use anal beads. She has ordered some. She wants to use them, rather than using them on me. Any tips to make sure that it is as pleasurable as possible?
Plenty of pleasure, preparation and lube should work just fine. For instance, you might get her all worked up with oral sex and teasing her anus with a well-lubed finger, then gently push the--again, very well-lubed--beads in, one by one. When she's getting close to climaxing, keep up the stimulation while you pull the beads out to enhance her pleasure/orgasm.
Yes, the lube is a necessity whenever engaging in anal play. Anal beads are especially effective during orgasm but can also be a "kick" at any time. There are two ways to extract them which can provide a different sort of erotic jolt: Very slowly one bead at a time, or rather rapidly when she is cumming. There are discussions of anal beads that you can find on the internet, books in your local bookstore, or in various porn flicks. However, nothing like experimentation and the fun of discovering what you like from experience. As I've often said, everybody's different.
PS: Clean them very well and perhaps use some anticeptic (depending on the material) before storing. Be extra careful with cleaning if you ever have any intent of using them vaginally.
Thanks for the tips. It sounds as though the adverbs, 'gently' and 'carefully' may be relevant! I'll make sure that we have lots of lubricant. Fingers crossed that it works out well.
